Is all truth but lies?
Hi, im back with chapter 2! I will try to make them longer than the first one.
Enjoy!
Natsu's POV
I sit up groggily to find myself on the floor of the guild. The place was completely ruined. It took me a minute to take it all in. Before I saw Luce lying on the floor in front of me. Her face and body covered in burns and bruises. She was unconscious. That much was clear. What happened? But burn marks? Did I do this? I dragged myself over to her. Good, she is still breathing, but barely. What have I done now. I pick her up bridal style. I need to find her some help and fast. Downstairs looks even worse than upstairs, one of the walls is missing. Where is everyone? Lucy started to move, she opened her beautiful chocolate brown eyes. As soon as she saw me they filled with fear. She's scared of me? Natsu, what have you done now? Suddenly she started to struggle, trying to get down.
"Luce stop it, you'll hurt yourself" I whisper to her.
"Let go of me!" she screamed, her voice trailing off into a sob. And the tears started to come, She struggled more until I had to put her down. As soon as I did she tried to stand up.
"Lucy, don't. Your too weak right now. Come on, you need a doctor." I say. Sounding harsher than I intended to be. She ignored me, now propping herself up with one of the few unbroken chairs. Her hair was messy and her fringe was wet and matted with tears.
"Natsu, why? Why did you do that? Did you destroy the guild too?!" she cried.
Destroy the guild? Why would I ever do that? The burn marks, the bruises, she was so scared of me when she woke up. I did that to her. I fell to my knees with my head in my hands. I hurt her. I betrayed her trust. I destroyed the guild. Silent tears ran down my face as realisation dawned.
"Friend for a friend." I muttered, I didn't know where it came from, I don't think I even said it. But somehow I did. That wasn't me. I wanted to run to Lucy who was now backing away from me wide eyed. I wanted to run to her and hug her. Tell her it was alright. But I couldn't, I couldn't do anything, my words. My actions weren't my own. I stood up slowly and walked towards her. Without warning I struck her to the ground. I lit my hands on fire and hit her. No! No! What am I doing! I can't hurt her! I can't hurt my Luce! I love her! But I couldn't stop it. she lay on the floor, crying again, tears running down her porclain pretty face. Her hair splayed out on the floor. She coughed up blood. Her body shaking, her chest rising and falling quickly. She just lay there. Her breathing slowed down until it was hardly there. I walked over to her, picked her up again. I was screaming inside. This isn't what I want to do! No! This isn't me! I walked out of the back door of the guild and dumped her in the back of a carriage. Wait a carriage?! No! God I can't puke now! Not now! Lucy's eyes finally slid shut. Her tense body relaxing. I take my place at the front of the carriage, making sure no one could see Lucy from the outside. And we left. I didn't want to. I didn't want to leave the guild, I couldn't stand knowing that I might have killed Lucy. I scream inside. Shouting, willing myself to move the way I wanted with every cell of my body. I would have killed myself to save her.
Three hours later
After three hours of sitting in the carriage feeling nauseous. We now moved along small dirt tracks in the middle of nowhere. I tried everything, a voice inside of me kept telling me to just give up. To let Lucy and I die. Right then. But I couldn't I tried everything. But nothing worked. Lucy didn't wake up. But during a stop, I bound her wrists and ankles together with rope, I took her keys and had them in my pocket. And I couldn't do anything but wait for the end to come.
Lucy's POV
Natsu! Natsu, how could you?! I lay in the back of a carriage, trussed up like a turkey. I could hear everything and feel everything, but I just lay there in blackness for who knows how long. It gave me time to reflect, on all the times I thought about Natsu, how he was so friendly kind. It was an act, all of it. He Betrayed me. He betrayed all of his friends! Worst of all. He betrayed Fairy Tail. How could he do that to the place he grew up in? I wonder if he ever liked me? If he was ever my friend. Wait. No. it wasn't real, any of it. I recall the day I met him, with the imposter Salamander. What if he planned to bring me if he was just a wizard spy from a dark guild sent to destroy us. In that case, where was he taking me. And are the others already at this place were going. Suddenly the carriage stopped. Footsteps stopped above me.
"Luce, I'm sorry." He whispered to me. Before picking me up and jumping down from the carriage. Sorry? How can he say that? This can't be real. After minutes of walking, he stopped. Slung me over his shoulder to get a set of keys, the sound of metal grinding against cement screeched by my head. He took two more steps and dropped me to the ground. My head slamming against the cement. Pain shot through my body as bruises were bashed and burns scrapped against the rough floor. The sound of metal against cement came again. And a pair of hands grabbed me and pushed me gently against a wall. Sitting me up.
"wait. Is that Lucy?" a voice came from my left. It was low and concerned.
Gray. Gray Fullbuster.
